i personally disagree with this because i, along with many others, simply see school as a means of qualification for certain jobs and internships. sure, there is useful knowledge obtained along the way of a degree, but i think for many people theyd be better off spending less time on subjects that arent relevant towards their goals, which using AI can enable them to do.

for example: if you had repetitive busywork for homework assignments, it doesnt make sense to spend a lot of time on it, once you have proven to yourself that you know how to do it anyway.

that's a shame. because school is a lot more than that. learning a breadth of subjects has been shown to improve overall knowledge and learning skills. but i get it, you and your many others are not cut out for a broader education. that's what vocations are for. we aren't all the same clones, humans are diverse.

One chance they get to learn? You can learn any time at any age... You should never stop learning and try to learning a little something every day or at least every week.

First you need to learn how to learn. You are doing a survivorship bias: you already know how to learn.

People who don't use AI will be better off. We all know people who cheated--heavily--really do get weeded out (unless they are super rich, in which case they get promoted). I worry about the young cheaters who are dooming themselves by squandering the one chance they get to really learn, and wish there was some way to make them see the long game they need to prepare for.
